Club talk on Convergence flying

Post by ron freeman »

Iv'e had quite few new pilots asking about the amazing phenomenon called 'Convergence' this amazing subject which will change your outlook on flying forever when your experience this for yourself.

We fly the Cheviots hill area and this place is the 'Meca' for convergence line flying ! The Border gliding club (Millfield) use it all the time and go onto their site a view some of the pictures when flying convergence they are stunning and this could be you.

If the club would be interested I would like to pass on some knowledge about convergence flying in the Cheviot hills and how to forecast it, when its going to happen, where to find it, and how to get the best out of it.

Its a very interesting subject and it will change how you look up at the sky forever 8)
Maximise your time & dosh do both Hanggliding & Paragliding :)
